Chapter 76: Newgate Joins the Crew
Brook watched the sparks fly between Redfield and Newgate—perhaps this was the natural attraction between powerful individuals.
"Haha~ From now on, Newgate is one of our fighters, same as Redfield. You two will be the strongest warriors of the Hell Pirates!" Brook declared with a wide grin.
He stepped forward, attempting to lift their hands in celebration. However, standing at only 2.7 meters, Brook was just a bit too short, managing only to reach Newgate's hand.
"We'll have to spar sometime," Redfield said, his interest in Newgate evident. Brook had already mentioned that Newgate's talent and Devil Fruit abilities were top-tier—there might come a day when even he wouldn't be able to defeat him.
The thought only fueled Redfield's fighting spirit. He wanted to prove to his captain that he was—and would remain—the strongest combatant of the Hell Pirates.
"Gurararara~ No problem!" Newgate responded, sensing Redfield's battle intent. The pressure he exuded made it clear—at his current level, he wasn't Redfield's equal just yet.
"Newgate hasn't awakened Haki yet, has he? Redfield, you'll be in charge of training him in Armament and Observation Haki. And when the time is right, I'll help him awaken his Conqueror's Haki as well," Brook announced.
Future Four Emperors' captain, Edward Newgate, would undoubtedly possess Conqueror's Haki!
"What?! Captain Brook, are you saying that I have the potential to awaken the legendary Conqueror's Haki—something only one in a million can achieve?" Newgate's eyes lit up in excitement. He had seen Conqueror's Haki users from a distance in the New World before, and their overwhelming presence was awe-inspiring. However, his former captain, Lyon, had always chosen to flee at the first sight of such displays.
